Write nuclear reaction equations for

(i) α-decay of ²²⁶₈₈Ra

(ii) α-decay of ²⁴²₉₄Pu

(iii) β^–-decay of ³²₁₅P

(iv) β^–-decay of ²¹⁰₈₃BI

(v) β⁺ -decay of ¹¹₆C

vi) β⁺ -decay of ⁴³₉₇Tc

(vii) Electron capture of ¹²⁰₅₄Xe

Explanation for the below-given solution in a nutshell, In case of α decay, there is a loss of 2 protons and 4 neutrons, In case of β ⁺ decay there is a loss of a proton and a neutrino is emitted, and for every β^- decay there is a gain of one proton and an antineutrino is emitted.

Hence the equations for the given cases will be:

i) (α-decay)

ii) (α-decay)

iii) (β^–-decay)

iv) (β^–-decay)

v) (β ⁺ -decay)

vi) (β ⁺ -decay)

vii) (electron capture)
